I LOVE Alishan! My very favorite Oolong. And this is one of the best of the best… if not the best. Did that make sense? Basically, this is one amazing Alishan. Sweet … like honey. A pleasant mouthfeel that is thick but not so much creamy as it is reminiscent of a warm, thinned honey … but not sticky.

Floral, yes, but the floral tones are not sharp or pungent, they are more of a sweet, delectable floral, with a nice fruit note in the background that makes this Alishan quite unlike any that I can ever recall.

Backlogging a cup or two from last week and I’m on my 3rd for today! This is the first time I have been able to jut down some tasting notes, tho! It’s been a CRAZY few weeks! Oye!

This isn’t like most Alishan’s I have tried…it has a bit more going on that others, I suppose! Yes…it’s creamy-smoooth…but not AS Creamy-Smooth as many other Alishan’s…in addition it has this flavor combo that I can only compare to a cross between cheerio’s, a subtle charcoal, and dried apricots and cranberries…Cran-Cots? Apri-Berries? Not sure! But it’s a VERY unique flavor – NATURALLY – on the tongue! It’s hard to put it in the same class as other Alishans because it’s so noticeably different! Kudos for Creative!

I should have let the third steep sit longer before drinking it. Ah well. Mild but good. The forth steep is still creamy smooth. Astringency is gone. I know this tastes floral but I can’t really tell what kind of flower I’m tasting. And the apricot flavor comes out in the later steeps. Really good!

I’m checking out the unfurled leaves here and they are all two leaves and a bud. This may explain the caffeine I’m feeling. Maybe.

I’m gonna go for a fifth steep later this evening. That’s probably the last steep these leaves can take. I’m so glad I took a chance and ordered from here. Try it people!
